2ND UPDATE, 12:49 p.m.: “He told me he was going to carve my face,” Amber Heard told the Fairfax County Jury that Johnny Depp told her about a broken bottle at a couple fight in Australia in March 2015.
Revealing that she herself smashed a bottle that her new and not-sober husband had mocked, Hurd confirmed that Depp had torn her nightgown, tossed at least one glass and left her slipping naked on the floor from a broken glass. She added that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor shouted at her that “he hates me to hell and I ruined his life” as he hit the wall next to her. At another point, Hurd said Depp was on top of her, shouting and “holding my neck.”
“I’m going to kill you, damn it, he said it over and over,” Hurd revealed, yelling at her as he allegedly penetrated her with a bottle “over and over again” during that time in Australia. Asking her lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, not to bother too much, Hurd outlined the incident and the bruises, bloody wounds and others she said she had suffered.
Along with allegations of physical, verbal and emotional abuse, Hurd and her legal team allege that Depp raped the actress many times during their relationship. Depp denied all such allegations.
“I’ve never been so scared in my life,” the actress shouted between sobbing in front of Judge Penny Azcart, the jury, Depp, lawyers and others from another clash between the couple. “I was trying to tell him he really hurt me, I don’t think he knew what he was doing,” Hurd said before breaking into the courtroom. “I couldn’t breathe.”
Waking up in a house stained with blood and blue and brown paint, with an “unrelated” message and what she thought was her name, and smudged food everywhere, Hurd painted a familiar portrait of the destruction of the jury on Thursday. set out since then The trial began on April 11.
“He wasn’t there anymore, he wasn’t Johnny,” she said of the expression on her then-husband’s face that day when she “realized” that Depp was missing part of her finger.
Depp’s deeply hurt figure has long been a source of controversy over the divorced couple’s relationship in 2016 and this very delayed process. Both sides say the other is responsible for the injury that halted production of the fifth Disney movie with a big pirate budget. At the booth, Hurd said that after Depp peed outside the apartment to “send more messages,” a nurse tried to give her medication to calm her down.
“I just remember being scared… without knowing what the hell was going on,” Hurd continued, telling the court that she grabbed what she could soon after and left Australia.
From the torturous testimony of the Aquaman star this afternoon in the courtroom in Virginia, the beginning of that time in March 2015, while Depp was working on the rock photos of “Dead Men Don’t Tell Tales”, was a relentless cycle of battles between the couple. Strategically, Hurd’s defense team used its client’s testimony to try to dispel Deep’s claim that he had been abused in the relationship by putting her actions and outbursts in a reactive position.
Using language the jury had heard before from the rostrum and on audiocassettes, Hurd claimed that Depp had insulted her as a “fat ass”, a “whore” and said that no one in his circle liked her. In the midst of all this, there seemed to be a brutal physical confrontation after another with an apparently enraged and Deep-influenced one strangling Hurd, pushing her against the walls, knocking her to the ground, and “hitting me in the face.”
At one point, Hurd exclaimed “militantly,” and apparently looking for a fight, Depp shouted at her, “You want to go, little girl!”
Hurd also spoke in detail about Depp, who allegedly raged on the phone and told Hurd’s lawyer in Australia that “the only way out is death.” The former Oscar nominee made the ominous statement to a lawyer Hurd had hired to review documents about the couple’s recent marriage. At the same call, Depp fired Hurd’s then-lawyer
“I’m back on the cutting block,” Hurd said bluntly.
Earlier on Thursday, for the first time since his ex-wife took office, a shaken Depp took off his sunglasses with a tight expression on his face when Hurd interrupted his sobs, recalling an alleged violent incident in Tokyo in January 205. of Mortdecai.
However, Depp looked away for a moment, gleaming with a closed smile on his right, where lawyer Ben Chu was sitting. Shortly afterwards, as Hurd detailed the couple’s personal and semi-private wedding in 2015, an excited Depp rose from writing at the table in front of him and leaned over to whisper to Chu. Later, after evidence of the wreckage and aftermath of the March 2015 battle in a rented house in Australia was published on courtroom monitors, Depp’s chewing gum talked to Chu over and over, sometimes pointing at the screen right in front of him.
Certainly, to end the last day of the trial by May 16, Hurd will return for more testimony after the current break in which the court is.
UPDATE 1, 10:10 a.m .: On the 15th day of Johnny Depp’s $ 50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, the Aquaman star told a courtroom in Virginia how things between her and the Pirates of the Caribbean actor ” really wrong… I was just taking care of his mood ”during his detox from Oxycontin in 2014.
“I told him something, he got so angry and hit me in the face,” Hurd, sometimes in tears and with a broken voice, said on Thursday during her second day of testimony. “But it was so weird, he was crying… no woman had bothered me like that,” the actress added, while the mostly reduced and scratchy Depp was sitting nearby with his lawyers.
Although at one point, as Hurd described the events in the Bahamas eight years ago, Depp really came to life and leaned over lawyer Ben Chu. At another intersection, as it was yesterday, Depp giggled and giggled like a student with Chu, while Hurd described in detail today the growing controlling behavior that Depp demonstrated over her. In particular, Hurd described the criteria she required to meet in order to be included in the 2015 Magic Mike XXL
Recalling the detoxification process in the Bahamas, Hurd said: “I am very concerned about this man’s well-being – it was very confusing and scary,” noting the praise Depp gave her. “He told me all the time I was saving his life that he wouldn’t have done it without me,” she said. Later, as Depp’s lawyers disbanded with their constant objections and rumors, Hurd’s leading lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, presented a text after Depp’s detox from Hurd, in which the actor called his partner an “angel” for helping him.
“He never had to do the cleaning – he never had to deal with my face the next day,” Hurd said in tears later in court.
In his brief stint so far, Hurd has made a number of allegations of ill-treatment, in many forms, against Depp – including sexual assault. The Black Mass actor’s drug and alcohol use is at the heart of most of these allegations, with Depp becoming a self-described “monster” when under the influence. “I’m a terrible savage,” Depp Hurd wrote in a text from December 18, 2018.
It was “the language he used after a particularly violent episode,” Hurd told Judge Penny Azkart, the jury and others at Fairfax County Court. “Sometimes I don’t think he understands how much he can hurt me physically,” she added, admitting that “she was yelling at him, yelling at him – it was awful.”
“Nothing I did stopped him from hitting me.”
During the trial, which began on April 11, Depp and various paid witnesses denied that the actor had a serious problem with alcohol and drugs. Claiming that cocaine and the like had little real effect on him – which undermines the meaning of his use – Depp has faced opioid addiction, which he says he has overcome. He also admitted that Hurd was with him during his detox in 2014 and is grateful for that.
However, from the moment he filed his lawsuit against Hurd in March 2019 over a 2018 Washington Post publication that the actress wrote had survived domestic violence, Depp denied abusing Hurd. Although he lost a defamation lawsuit in the UK in 2020 against the tabloid The Sun for calling him a “wife fighter”, Depp continues to claim to be a victim of domestic violence in his relationship with Hurd – although very public and The couple’s restraining order was executed in 2016. The divorce is stated otherwise.
The court is on its lunch break. Today is the last day of the trial this week, and it will be suspended throughout the following week for a pre-scheduled conference attended by Judge Azkart. The testimony will be taken again on May 16.
PREVIOUS, 8:56 a.m .: Amber Heard claimed more cases of physical violence than Johnny Depp today, painting a dream relationship that turns into a nightmare as the actor indulges in drugs and alcohol.
Just before Thursday morning’s break, the jury listened to an audio recording that Hurd said she filmed Depp during a private flight from Boston on May 24, 2014, in which Depp was heard moaning. Hurd said he locked himself in the bathroom and “started howling like an animal.”
Hurd explained that she started recording because “in my experience, when Johnny was so drunk, he wouldn’t remember what was done.”
Depp is suing Hurd for $ 50 million for a 2018 Washington Post article in which she said she had become a “public figure representing domestic violence.” Depp denies allegations of domestic violence.
Hurd, who filed a counter-investigation, took the position on Wednesday and has since gone through a story about their relationship, describing cases in which Depp is emotional …
